I think you can add broccoli, lettuce, radishes, spinach (greens),
green onions, parsley. These are the vegetables that I would expect
to be able to eat from my garden in the spring. The ones that are
green leaves would be the earliest. Depending upon how long you
consider spring to be, you could include beets and carrots, turnips,
stuff like that. These veggies really do not like to grow in the heat
of summer.
